Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk (e.g., coconut, almond, oat)

Fruit Puree

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup passionfruit pulp

Dairy or Non-Dairy Creaminess

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 teaspoon natural sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or agave), optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chia base: In a bowl or jar, combine 3 tablespoons of chia seeds with 1 cup of your chosen milk. Stir well to prevent clumps and let it sit for at least 10 minutes, then stir again to ensure even soaking.
  2. Blend the mango and passionfruit: Peel and dice 1 ripe mango, then add it to a blender with ½ cup of passionfruit pulp. Blend until smooth, incorporating or straining seeds based on your texture preference.
  3. Mix fruit puree with yogurt: In a bowl, combine the mango-passionfruit puree with ½ cup of Greek or coconut yogurt. Mix until creamy and smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of natural sweetener and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract if using, adjusting sweetness to taste.
  4. Combine chia pudding and fruit mixture: Gently fold the chia seed mixture into the fruit-yogurt blend, mixing evenly to ensure uniform flavor and texture throughout.
  5. Chill and thicken: Cover the pudding and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the chia seeds to fully swell, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy mangoes and fresh passionfruit for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Stir chia seeds at 10-minute intervals during soaking to prevent clumps and achieve a smooth texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness after tasting the fruit puree to avoid over-sweetening the pudding.
  • Store pudding in airtight containers or sealed jars to keep it fresh and prevent absorption of fridge odors.
  • Experiment with different milk types: coconut milk adds tropical creaminess; almond or oat milk offer lighter alternatives.
  • For vegan option, use coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based milk.
  • Add toppings like toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or granola for texture and flavor contrast.
  • Frozen mango or passionfruit pulp can be used if fresh fruit is unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid before blending.
